spent most

of today catching up on some much needed sleep. was nice to get to sleep in but didnt think i would sleep in as late as i did *whoops*
ah well no biggie, just tried to make myself look semi decent enough to walk down the street with lil ron and clyde and not look like i had just crawled out of bed 30 minutes prior.
we met mother, my owen, my wyatt, and my nephew brandon at the end of the road for a swim and some fun in the sun ~

all went good at first, of course owen saw me and wanted to be held by mama ~ so sweet! so i snuggled him for a bit while lil ron took clyde into the sound.. than i went to take over after passing owen back off to mother.. he loves playing this game of jumping between us *lol* he does it with just about anyone (meaning Ron and my mil as well) ..
so out into the water i took my clyde.. hes such a good swimmer although something has got to be done about his claws *ouch*

he was doing real well for a good while but we have a good way to go still.. he got a little *attitude* when i wouldnt drop his leash.. you see when its just us there thats not an issue but with others there as there was today, it is an issue.. specially when maxine is down there with her owner.. now my clyde is a good pup well behaved most of the time but i dont know what his tolerance is for having a dogs nose up his puppy butt and for how long he will take it before telling them no more kwim?

so once the attitude started, i tried to get him to *chill* when that didnt work i knew it was time for my clyde to go home ~

we got to the house and it was already 5pm so i opted to go ahead and shower and get him his bath..

lil ron came home not to much later and after he ate, we took clyde for a walk before the other guys came home from mothers house..

clyde did really well, we decided after seeing my sister outside to stop and see if she wanted to join us with her jo ~ so we all walked together for a short bit, you know i dont know what it is about jo.. but its the only neighborhood dog that i just cant seem to get my clyde to stop barking at *argh* and btw his bark is getting much louder ~

after walking for a bit they did chill out so all was well.. once home, it wasnt more than 5 minutes when mother was pulling up with owen and wyatt..

all boys are in bed now, rons on his way home and *woohoo* is bringing me a french vanilla capachino (killed that spelling im sure)
